Arlo - Pro 3 6-Camera Indoor/Outdoor Wire-Free 2K HDR Security Camera System - White

So I bought this 6 camera set for both indoor and outdoor use sense I own a Mac Tools Franchise and my tool truck is parked in my driveway. I have 3 camera's in my house and 3 camera's outside of my house. Now the quality of these camera's are amazing, the L.E.D light on them is an amazing feature that works well, 2 way audio is clear, the app works well minus a couple improvements that I could recommend but overall really nice. This is where the but comes in. Two of my outdoor camera's I have mounted to trees, one in the front of my house facing the house and one in the backyard of my house facing up the drive which also gets my 2 basement back doors (hence the new wide angle camera which is amazing). The 2 issues I have noticed are as follows: 1.) When it rains outside, rain gets on the lens of the camera's and due to a mixture of just the rain and the night vision, you can not see a thing! Currently I am in the middle of constructing an awning that will mount on the tree just above the camera's to keep the rain off them, hope this works! Very frustrating. 2.) The app has a feature which is free for 3 months and then you have to pay for it which is called smart alerts. You can set it up so it will only alert you for certain things. Which I have vehicles off and other motion off and animals off, the only thing I should be getting alerted for are people and thats it. Well this is not always the case. I get alerted for vehicles all the time still, and sense its sending me notifications for these, its eating up the battery power in these cameras a lot quicker than it should. Besides these 2 things, the cameras work great so far.

These cameras are easy to install. The picture quality is great, picks up the most minut movement. However, activity zones set up but picks up everything else in the surrounding area, so I'm constantly getting notifications and, of course, the battery won't last very long (1 week)... maybe I'm doing something wrong..?? I also like that it picks up audio as well and the light turns on with detection of movement. It does lag so very hard to get actual "live" video. I'm trying to see if I can somehow connect cable for less or no lagging. It may be the internet set up,...mine doesn't pick up very well. Although it connects to my wifi, it is a very low signal even though it's not far from the router but it may be the location of the camera (above garage door) I was told it may be the metal frame decreasing the signal. Either way, they're nice cameras, great picture/video quality, magnet hold thru anything, easy to take down to charge battery. The app is user friendly and can set up multiple cameras.

This Pro 3 wireless camera system is top tier. The 2k resolution is more than enough. I personally think it's unecessary to go for the ultra given the fact that phones don't have 4k, which is what you'll be viewing cams from 99.999% of the time. Ample resolution with pro 3's. The battery life is pretty legit...as long as you play optimize the video quality sliders and motion sensitivity. I'd definitely recommend to get the 25' outdoor magnetic charge cord, if you don't want to EVER think about touching the cams again. Great job Arlo. I'm not gonna complain too much about service charges...that's EVERY companies business model....how are they gonna make overhead and profits people. If it was higher than current I'd understand, and complain too. Maintain those pricepoints Arlo. Maybe give subscribers a slight discount for sharing video you guys use.

They are very good and made of very good material, very durable to all weather conditions.

I purchased these cameras for the full wireless capabilities. That is the only thing they're good at. The setup would not be easy for someone without good tech skills. These cameras come with absolutely no instruction. You have to download the app then set up the cameras through the app. The entire setup was not easy by any means. The app was not user friendly and had sign in issues. Also you will need to pay a fee to receive notifications and record to the cloud. Now to the video quality. This system has TERRIBLE night vision. It captures nothing! I had a halo around all videos. The system has a delay. I counted 9 seconds from movement until it started recording. It captured a lot of blank videos. My daughter ran in front of it and the system did not record and did not notify me of movement. However when the wind would blow I would get a movement notification. 90 wind blowing notifications in 1 day. The system has 2 good qualities. One of my cameras was place far away from the base station. This camera had the best video quality. The other pro is its ability to record to a hard drive. I would not recommend this system to my friend let alone my enemies. My Nest doorbell camera records far superior night and day videos. I've attached pictures. In the first That gray blob in the center is a deer. Try to find it. The second photo is a red streak. This is my cars tail lights. This is the exact second my camera started to film as my car drove from right to left in front of the camera. My car is completely out of frame

The entire camera system with base station was easy to configure with app. The cameras were easy to install on the exterior of my home and give good quality video and still pic’s. They’ve worked well here in Alaska with the temps being single digits. The camera system kit gives you everything you need to get started. However, I purchased additional Arlo accessories to meet my needs.

I had the Arlo Pro 2 and upgraded to the Pro3 and let me tell you... What a big difference, first I want to start with the led light on the front it’s super bright for it being so small, it lights up a good section of my yard at night an makes my color night vision so worth it. Both the video and audio quality is amazing. Love the wide angle view it shows so much more than the arlo pro 2. IM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH THE PRO3 MONEY WELL SPENT I DON’T REGRET ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!

We had other camera systems (Ring and a few others) and they don’t compare! We love the Arlo system and how clear they are, the recordings, the wide views, and especially the WiFi range. We have the base at one end of our 3,700sf house and then a camera on the opposite side of the house on our shed which is an additional 70ft from the house. Will be buying more to add on!
